The answer

The woman's ' (waiting period) begins from the date of the court's ruling dissolving the marriage. It is impermissible for a Muslim to propose to her while she is in her 'iddah. Explicit proposals are forbidden, but an indirect hint is permissible, because she has been irrevocably separated from her husband by the dissolution of her marriage. An indirect hint is when the suitor says to her: "I am interested in someone like you," or "Don't let yourself pass me by," or "When your 'iddah ends, let me know," or similar phrases that indicate his desire for her.
